    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi, I think I already know the answer to my queries but does not stop us being annoyed. :-x

 

Years ago my partner had a Barclaycard got into finacial difficulty had a n agreement to pay £15 a month and did so for about 4 years, at the time had many other agreements set up with the help of the CAB and managed to squirrel away some cash so was occasionally able to offer full and finals. In October they decided to stop paying this as they didnt know who it was they were paying hoping they would contact so she could offer to settle and in the middle of February received a letter from Morrcroft saying that they were acting on behalf of Barclaycard and asking for either full payment of £1011 or contact for an agreement. She sent off a CCA straight away letter and received a letter dated 26/02 saying that this had been forwarded to Barclays for them to act on.

On Saturday she went to pay for our shopping and her card was declined, yes she banks with Barclays. When she got home she looked at her account and on the 26.02 Barclaycard had withdrawn £690.

I know that they can offset and there is nothing that she can do about it but how can this be legal that without even contacting her saying that they were going to do it, just to get through till next month she has had to take out a £1000 loan with Barclays so that she can pay her bills. In fact till they she rang them today they hadnt even confirmed that they had taken the money.

There is still £320 owed and who does she deal with...Barclays decdied not to wait for Moorcroft in fact the deadline for payment in full to Moorcroft had not even passed.

 

Sorry for the rent but so angry with Barclaycard.

Sadly Poppy it is legal - just as long as the account was not already overdrawn. The only thing you can do to stop it is to send a Letter of Appropriation (templates are available) although this does not always stop them.

 

Never ever have your day to day bank account with a Bank or CCco with whom you are in or are about to be in dispute. Barclays and Barclaysharks are just about the worst you have to deal with as well so particularly not this outfit. The moment you send in any form of S78 request or any other complaint they assume that you are about "work them over" and will do everything to frustrate your efforts and disrupt your daily life. It really is worth getting an account opened elsewhere because they WILL do it again and again. I am very surpised that they gave another £1000 loan. Several reasons,

1, you are likely to be in dispute (to them you have said so because of the request) It is normal practice of Barclays to start shutting you and your life down.

 

2. I would find it suspect of Barclays because it places you in further debt than you had originally and that is against the OFT guidelines.

 

3. Barclays would see you die, starve ( literally I know, been there) rather than extend any form of help to anyone. Greed and avarice are their only motivations hence take a very good look at what they have stitched you up with on that loan.

 

Hope that this helps

My partner actually has a good credit rating having worked hard to get it sorted especially with Barclays, and we know its legal even if its not morale.

 

Just miffed that they passed it over to Moorcroft then took action anyway, the only thing I can see that they have done against the FOS is that they have not given my partner a reasonable chance to make payment, no contact except one letter from Moorcroft. I also believe that when they took the money they put her into her overdraft or left her with a virtually zero bank balance.

 

She is not in dispute and does not plan to be, sent off CCA to see who owned the debt to ensure that the right people get paid, its hers she got herself into it and she will pay her way out of it.

Sad fact of life, despite it being your legal right to see a true copy of your agreement, Barclays/Batclaycard will automatically assume your are on the road to a dispute. They generally do not have proper paperwork in place, much, not all, has been destroyed in successive cost cutting exercises.

Hence the immediate nervousness and defensive approach.

 

What they have done yo you and yours is just standard practice.

If the bank has taken money by way of Set Off which has left you short and unable to pay priority debtors, you may have had a chance of getting the Set Off reversed or reduced by a complaint to Head Office.

 

To have to survive the month by taking a bank loan is outrageous.

We are going to write to Head Office just to make a complaint over the fact that she had to take a loan, and that to take their money that they used her overdraft she does not get paid for another 4 weeks but we do understand their right to offset so dont feel it will get us anywhere but thats not the point.

I suggest you complain in the strongest possible terms to Barclays HQ in London.

 

I also suggest that you first call the FOS and inform them that the bank used the Set Off leaving you with no option but to take a bank loan, from Barclays, to make up the shortfall for the month.

 

I've asked DeperateDaniella to stop by as she's had experience of dealing with BC's nasty tactics.

Hi Poppy,

 

DesperateDaniella has tried to post but, for some reason, what she posted disn't show. Must be a Site glitch.

 

She's asked me to confirm that she'll try again later.

Hi Poppy,

 

They are completely out of order here. They cannot put your partner into debt to pay their offset on the barclaycard.

 

Call the FOS immediately and tell them what Barclays have done. I have suggested that a number of people on the forum do exactly that and as far as I am aware Barclays have always backed down when given the FOS reference number. (In one case they took £7,000 from someone's account as soon as it came in from an insurance payment - and they handed it straight back as soon as FOS were involved. :) )

 

They cannot offset until you have paid all priority bills - they can only take disposable income.

 

Priority bills are the mortgage or rent, council tax, tv licence, and utility bills, and you must be allowed funds to travel to work, and to eat of course. You do not have to pay the utility bills by direct debit to make it easier for them to work out your disposable income. FOS are quite clear on that too.

 

They took money from my account three times last year and they paid it straight back as soon as I quoted my FOS complaint reference number.

 

I think FOS will be particularly appalled about Barclays giving you a loan to pay their own credit card. They are putting you into further debt which is against OFT rules, and of course they'll get interest on that loan.

 

When you have spoken to FOS call barclaycard and insist that they give the money back immediately. Do not be fobbed off if they try and tell you it will take days - they can do it in minutes.

 

Depending on what FOS say, apart from getting the money back I would also insist that they cancel the loan and refund any charges they have made for that too.

 

You can write to their HQ but that will take more time than getting on to FOS now.

 

Good luck. You can get it back.

 

DD
